#ChicagoMarathon

We have great views from our apartment and neighborhood of the Chicago Marathon, which is being run today. As per usual when a big event like this is going on around me, I’ve been snapping away at things with my camera, and posted some photos (copied below) on my Twitter feed. The first photo in the sequence has been going wildly viralas the race is still being run; at one point, it was the first image returned when searching for the “#ChicagoMarathon” hashtag. The image was snapped directly behind our apartment building, and it shows “The Chicago Layer Cake: Commerce and Tourism on top, Elite Sports in the middle, and Homelessness beneath our feet.” Food for thought. And then action.
